On Jan. 27, California lawmakers took initial steps toward addressing the public safety concerns posed by the state's growing populations of wolves, mountain lions and other predators—issues the state's top environmental ...
Medical Xpress / Shingles vaccination associated with delayed dementia onset in older adults
Every three seconds, someone, somewhere in the world, develops dementia. The number of people living with the condition is projected to rise dramatically, doubling from 78 million in 2020 to 139 million by 2050, making dementia ...
Medical Xpress / RNA molecule discovery could lead to potential new breast cancer therapy
QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the most common form of breast cancer. The team are developing their findings into a potential RNA-based ...
Phys.org / A new class of strange one-dimensional particles
Physicists have long categorized every elementary particle in our three-dimensional universe as being either a boson or a fermion—the former category mostly capturing force carriers like photons, the latter including the ...
Phys.org / Ancient Alaskan site may help explain how the first people arrived in North America
New evidence has emerged that sheds light on the possible first people to populate the Americas. Dating of stone and ivory tools found at an archaeological site in Alaska suggests that these early pioneers traveled through ...
Phys.org / Agave or bust! Mexican long-nosed bats head farther north in search of sweet nectar
Mexican long-nosed bats have a taste for agave, their tongues designed to lap up the famous desert plant's nectar during nightly flights. It's not just a means of satisfying taste buds. It's a matter of fueling up for an ...
Phys.org / AI systems could identify math anxiety from student inputs and change feedback
Math anxiety is a significant challenge for students worldwide. While personalized support is widely recognized as the most effective way to address it, many teachers struggle to deliver this level of support at scale within ...
Tech Xplore / A programmable, Lego-like material for robots emulates life's flexibility
Mechanical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a proof-of-concept method for programming mechanical properties into solid Lego-like building blocks. By controlling the solidity of hundreds of individual cells in ...
Phys.org / A student made cosmic dust in her lab—what she found could help us understand how life started on Earth
A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust from scratch. The results shed new light on how the chemical building blocks of life may have formed ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors eliminated in mice without resistance developing
Current drugs for pancreatic cancer lose effectiveness within months because the tumor becomes resistant. Now, a group from Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has been able to avoid the development of resistance ...
Phys.org / Cosmic radiation brought to light: Researchers measure ionization in dark cloud for the first time
Where starlight doesn't reach, new things are born: For the first time, an international research team has directly measured the effect of cosmic radiation in a cold molecular cloud. The observation shows how charged high-energy ...
Phys.org / 91-qubit processor accurately simulates many-body quantum chaos
Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a way by leveraging error ...
